Sporty Spice

Sometimes you have to take a risk with fashion, just as you would with life. When I pulled out this quilted tee and PU shorts from my boohoo parcel, my mum gave me a look as to say "Now what are those?" and before I'd even tried them on she was quick to share her 'reservations' about the pieces. She always says she knows what's 'me' and what isn't - and it's quite nice that we're close enough to have that relationship. However, both myself and my mum were pleasantly surprised at how nice the clothes looked on.

I'm a sucker for monochrome and after this quilted tee was used in a shoot at work, I had to have it. I'm trying to embrace the sports luxe trend this season with my PU running shorts. It's funny because I wouldn't ever go running in such short shorts, yet I'm quite happy to wear them in my day-to-day dressing...Oh fashion, the wonders of how you work...

This tee is quite thick for Summer but as Summer in England is a bit up and down to say the least, I find it really comfortable to wear - maybe not in black, but in white, it's a cool alternative - literally.
